adskilles et yderst lidet terminalt, med 2 smaa Burster 
besat Led. der synes at svare til den bevsegelige Finger. 
Folerne (se Fig. 1 b. — 1 d. 1 g), der er fmstede 
til en noget fremspringende Afsats paa liver Side af Hoved- 
seginentet, er vel udviklede og, lige udstrakte, omtrent af 
Snabelens Ltengde. De er ialniiudelighed staerkt S-foimigt 
boiede og sammensatte af B tydeligt begrsendsede Led, 
hvoraf de 4 vderste reprmsenterer Endedelen, do 4 pviige 
Basaldelen. Af Basaldelens Led er det lste og 3die nieget 
korte, de 2 pvrige derimod temmelig torbengede, navnlig 
2det, alle besatte med meget smaa og spredte Burster. 
Endedelen, der altid danner en mere eller mindre tydelig 
albuoformig Vinkel med Basaldelen, er neppe mere end 
lialvt sa'a lang som denne. Dens 4 Led er nsesten af ens 
Storrelse, eller det 2det nbetydelig lsengere end de pvrige, 
og bar alle i den ydre Kant en tat Besmtning af Burster. 
Sidste Led er af oval Form og liar 2 af de ved Spidsen 
frestede Burster fint cilierede. 
De falske Fodder (se Fig. 1 c. 1 d. og 1 h) er fmstede 
belt ventralt, nedenunder og lidt foran de forreste Side- 
fortsatser, og er slaaede ind under Kroppen, saa at de 
neppe er synlige, naar Dyret sees ovenfra.^ De er ikke 
af nogen betydelig Storrelse, idet de, lige udstrakte, er 
adskilligt kortere end Legemet, og bestaar, som bos de 
fl es te ovrige Pyenogonideer, af 10 tydeligt begrmndsede' 
Led, hvoraf de 3 forste er forboldsvis korte og tykke, 
medens de 2 folgende Led er stferkere forlmngede, navnlig 
bos Hannen. Endepartiet er forboldsvis lidet udviklet, bos 
Haiinen neppe lsengere end det foregaaende Led, og har 
kun et meget lidet Antal af Randtorner, nemlig ialt kun 
6, 1 paa hvert af de 4 forste Led og 2 paa det yderst 
pile Endeled ; den ene af disse sidste tor dog maaske mer- 
mest svare til Endekloen hos andre Pyenogonideer.. Alle 
disse Randtorner er tcet og regelmsessigt saugtakkede i 
begge Kanter (Fig. 1 i). 
Gangfodderne (se Fig. 1, 1 a) er forboldsvis koite 
og robnste, lige udstrakte, ikke engang idobbelt saa lange 
som Legemet. og liesatte med grove pigformige Bolster, 
der delvis er fmstede til Spidsen af mere eller mindre 
fremspringende koniske Fortsatser. Af Leddene er de o 
Hofteled meget korte, isser lste og 2det, medens de • > fol- 
gende Led er noget mere forlaengede og indbyrdes omtrent 
af ens Lmngde. Hos Hannen (se Fig. 1 a, 1 in) er de 2 
forste Hofteled besatte til liver Side med 2 starlet frem- 
springende, koniske Fortsatser, liver endende med en pig- 
formig Borste, og paa de 2 bagerste Fodpar Andes desuden 
paa Undersiden af 2det Hofteled et stumpt koniskt Frern- 
spring af betydelig Storrelse, paa hvis Spids Kjonsaabningen 
er beliggende. Hos Hunnen (Fig. 1, 1 k) mangier disse 
sidste Fremspring ganske, og heller ikke de pigformige 
Fortsatser paa de 2 forste Hofteled er her saa tydelige. 
Laarleddet er bos begge Kjon meget bredt og noget sam- 
without any indication of fingers. Upon powerful magni- 
fication, however, there may be distinguished an extremely 
small terminal joint beset with 2 small bristles, which 
appears to correspond to the mobile finger. 
The palpi (see fig. 1 b. — 1 d. 1 g), which are 
secured to a somewhat protruding process on each side 
of the cephalic segment, are well developed and, straigbtly 
extended, are about the length of the proboscis. They 
are usually strongly bent in S-form and composed of 8 
distinctly defined joints, of which the 4 outermost represent 
the terminal division and the 4 others the basal division. 
Of the joints of the basal portion the 1st and 3rd are 
very short, the 2 others, on the contrary, are pretty much 
elongated, especially the 2nd, and all are beset with very 
small and scattered bristles. The terminal part, which 
always forms a more or less distinct elbow-shaped angle 
with the basal part, is scarcely more than half its length. 
Its 4 joints are nearly of the same size, or the 2nd in- 
considerably longer than the others, and they all have, on 
the outer margin, a close covering of bristles. The ter- 
minal joint is oval in form and 2 of the bristles secured 
to its point are finely ciliated. 
The false legs (see fig. 1 c. Id. and 1 h) are secured 
quite ventrally, below and a little in front of the foremost 
lateral processes, and are folded in under the trunk, so 
that they are scarcely visible when the animal is viewed 
from above. They are not of any considerable size, as 
they, straigbtly extended, are considerably shorter than 
the body and consist, as in most of the other Pycnogonids, 
of 10 distinctly defined joints, of which the 3 first are 
relatively short and thick, while the 2 succeeding ones 
are more elongated, especially in the male. The terminal 
part is relatively little developed, in the male scarcely 
longer than the preceding joint, and has but a very small 
number of marginal spines, only 6 altogether, 1 on each of 
the 4 first joints and 2 on the extremely small terminal 
joint; the one of those last may, however, perhaps cor- 
respond nearest to the terminal claw in other Pycnogonids. 
All those marginal spines are closely and regularly ser- 
rated on both edges (fig. 1 i). 
The ambulatory legs (see fig. 1, 1 a) are relatively 
short and robust, straightly extended, not even twice the 
length of the body, and are beset with coarse spinitorm 
bristles, which are partly secured to the point of more 
or less protuberant, conical processes. Of the joints, the 
3 coxal joints are very short, especially the 1st and 2nd, 
while the 3 succeeding ones are somewhat more elongated, 
and, mutually, about uniform in length. In the male (see 
fie;. 1 a, 1 m), the 2 first coxal joints are beset on each side 
with 2 strongly prominent, conical processes, each termin- 
ating in a spiniform bristle, and on the 2 posterior pairs 
of legs, there is, besides, on the under surface of the 2nd 
coxal joint, a blunt conical protuberance of considerable 
size, upon whose point the sexual aperture is situated. 
In the female (fig. 1, 1 k), those last-named protuberances 
are entirely absent, neither are the spiniform processes of the 
2 first coxal joints so distinct here. The femoral joint is
